Triumph Of a Widow.

A pretty Nebraska widow who
had ensnared the affections of many
respectable farmers living near
Wyman was recently ordered to
leave the county by band Of "regu-
lators' under penalty of coat Of
tar and feathers. Nothing daunted
by the threat, the widow bought a
double barrel shotgun and awaited
developments. When the "regula-
tors approached the house to carry
out their threats the aight of load,
ed shotgun pointing from one of the
windows deferred them, and one Of
the number, in admiration of the
womans pluck, advanced under q
flag of truce, proposed marriage and
was accepted on the spot. Then a
parson was called in, the marriags
was celebrated and the night wound
mp with round of festivities

Some time after the close Of the
last Franco German war the Empe-
ror of Germany presented to the
Cologne cathedral with a monster
bell, in the casting Of which $4,000
pounds of gun metal from ordnance
taken from the French in battle had
been used But for ten years the
bell was silent, waiting for the con-
clusion of the unfriendiy relations
existing between the government
and the Catholic Church. commonly
known by the designation "kultur,
kampf." This hostility having lately,
however, changed a state of cordi-
ality between the powers temporal
and spiritual, the Archbishop Kre
menz, on the 3Oth of last June, con.
secrated the emperor's bell to its
intended use.
The bell weighs q tons, the clap,
per alone weighing 1900 pounds; its
height is almost.l5 feet and its lower
diameter nearly IL feet. TLe cast.
ing was snperintendcd by Andreas
Haum, in FrankenthaI, and required
the metal of % guns and 10000
pounds of tin. The Latin inscrip
ton on one side of the bell is (trans-
lated into English}:
His majesty, emperor Of Germany
and king of Prussia. in grateful
remembrance Of the help Of Heaven
in the successful conduct and termin-
alton Of TIC last war with France
and the restoration Of the German
empire, has ordered that 10000
pounds of metal from pieces Of ord
nance taken from the enemy he nsed
for the casting of a bell for this
house Of worship, now completed in
such admirable form. In accordance
with the will of this most victorious
aud most pious prince the Cathedral
Building association bad it cast,
when Plus TX was pope and Paulus
Melehers archhiaLap- of Cologne, in
the year 1876.
On the opposite side are the impe
rial arms, with a German inscription
in verse, which, rendered into Eng
lish, runs as follows:
The empror's bell IS my name;
His honor proclaim,
On sacred guard stay
And for the empire pray
That peace and strength

When to this is added the fact

profits of the business may be gained.

About ten days ago rumors, which seem
to have been floating in the air, affecting
the character of Governor Taylor for hon.
esty ard integrity, were given publicity
through the press. Since then a good
deal has been said about them, but moth
ing developed going to show that they had
any foundation. The only result is, the
creation of a feeling of sympathy for the
governor, who it is believed, is being pur-
sued by rcmorseless enemies in his own
party, who would take pleasure in his
downfall. The repetition of these ru-
mors shows how deep-seated the feeling
is against the governor among Democrats
who oppose him. No governor of Ten.
nessee has aroused such bitter opposition
among his political friends in so short q
time. He has been governor only about
three months, and yet we find cores of
Democrats who never speak a kind word
of him personally, or of his administra-
ton. We shall not stop TO inquire why
this Is so-whether the fault is with his
party or with himself. But one of two
things is certain-either the party which
nominated him is a poor judge of men
and has been greatly deceived, or else
the governor has greatly changed. Six
months ago the columns of the Demo.
cratic press were filled with his praises
Now half of the papers are vieing will
each other as to which shall do him tho
most injury. The party has made a grca!
blunder, either before or since the elec.
ton, and in either event ought not to b.
trusted. -KnorciM Journal.
